Del Christensen, chief of global business development for the Bay Area Council, updates the upcoming activities of the China Committee at a conference titled Pacific Business Briefing: US Trends Affecting Cross-Border Business with China on Wednesday in San Francisco. Christensen said that with the uncertainty of US-China relations in the future, the Bay Area Council will play a more important role. For example, the council's offices in Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou will provide concierge services for the San Francisco Bay Area companies looking to access China's innovation ecosystem and gain government support, Christensen said.
